Texas A&M police arrested one man for selling two fake tickets for the A&M-Texas football game for $900 dollars and throwing away five more fake tickets. This happened near Pickard’s Pass, which is the tunnel going under Wellborn Road by Kyle Field. 57 year old Bruce Suares of Inglewood Texas remained in jail as of December 2nd in lieu of bonds totaling $14,000 dollars.

Texas A&M police arrested a New Jersey man for attempted theft and criminal trespassing related to selling fake tickets. The arrest report says 28 year old Velasquez Naranjo pushed his way through the ticket gate to enter the stadium. He was followed by two women who told the arresting officer they paid $250 dollars apiece to Naranjo to get into the game using SEC wristbands as tickets. The money was returned to the women. The arrest report also says Naranjo had a two way radio, which led officers to believe he was working with other individuals who were scamming other people wanting to get into the game. Naranjo is out of jail after posting bonds totaling $4,000 dollars.
